Looking for a script that displays "NN Days Until XX" where NN is the number of days and XX is an event. "78 Days Until Christmas" type of display. Just simply text output, nothing fancy ! any ideas ?? thanks

use Date::Calc module in perl. Define Specific dates by name in hash where values are the month, day and year of the event. Date::Calc can calculate the number of days between now and that date. Then, just display the results (choose to display graphics or text in web page).

Thanks for the info, but I do not know how to do that. I am looking for a perl script that i can install - i am trying to find an actual script as opposed to how to write one using the module you mentioned
